Shadowfell

A Shadar-kai with ashen skin and flowing, shadowy hair that seems to shift and swirl like smoke. Their eyes are deep pools of darkness, reflecting the flicker of distant stars. Clad in a cloak that appears to be woven from shadows and starlight, they carry an ornate staff topped with a crystal that pulses with an otherworldly glow.

Arwin is charming, poetic, and riddled with paradoxes. He speaks in cryptic riddles and enjoys the act of baffling those who try to understand his designs. Despite his elusive nature, he often demonstrates a deep knowledge of the planes and reality’s laws, suggesting he may have transcended ordinary existence. He has a playful demeanor, but there is an unsettling air about him—something deeply unsettling in his eyes, a sense of impending doom that lurks beneath his curiosity. Arwin might offer the players an invitation to his realm, promising them insight into the shifting planes, powerful magic, or even the means to travel freely between the worlds. However, to aid him in his ultimate vision, the adventurers may be tasked with retrieving rare and forbidden artifacts or helping him maintain the stability of the Conclave. Alternatively, if the players are in opposition to his goals, Arwin could be a dangerous and manipulative adversary.

Arwin is a being of fey and nightmare energies, existing between planes and embodying the essence of the Hollow Conclave. They claim to be the architect of the Conclave's ever-shifting layout, but their true motives remain shrouded in mystery. Some whisper that Arwin's designs are not merely for beauty, but serve a darker purpose, manipulating the very fabric of reality within the Conclave. He seeks to weave the Conclave into a nexus for all planes, an intersection where reality itself can be bent and reshaped. He believes the Rift in the Shadowfell will allow him to finalize his masterpiece: a world where the boundaries between all planes are blurred, and the laws of time, space, and death can be rewritten. His obsession with this dream has made him less concerned with the consequences for others. He’s aware that his plans might unravel reality as they know it, but he sees this as a necessary step in breaking the rigid constraints of existence.
